Long Exhaust Header for Cadillac Escalade 2WD (2007-2013) 6.2L Engine

Not for 4WD/AWD/4X4 vehicles Permanently fix that annoying exhaust leak and unleash the true power of your Gen IV Vortec V8 by swapping those restrictive cast iron logs for high-flow stainless steel headers.

Performance Stainless Steel Headers for Cadillac Escalade 2WD (2007-2013 6.2L)

If you own a GMT900 platform Cadillac Escalade, you are likely familiar with the weak link in an otherwise bulletproof powertrain: the exhaust manifolds. The factory cast iron manifolds are notorious for retaining heat, warping, and snapping bolts, leading to that dreaded "ticking" sound on cold starts. Furthermore, their restrictive "log" design creates substantial backpressure, forcing your LS-based engine to fight against itself to expel exhaust gases, which robs you of torque and horsepower.

This stainless steel header kit is the ultimate solution. Featuring an 8-into-2 piping design, these headers provide each cylinder with its own 1.75-inch primary tube. This separation prevents exhaust pulses from interfering with one another, a phenomenon known as scavenging. By smoothing out the flow and reducing backpressure, these headers allow your 6.2L V8 engine to breathe freely. The result is a noticeable improvement in throttle response, mid-range towing power, and top-end performance.

Constructed with CNC-machined 7/16" thick head flanges and heavy-duty TIG/MIG welds, these headers are built to withstand the thermal expansion and contraction that destroys stock components. The 3-stage polished finish not only looks incredible under the hood but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance. Whether you are replacing broken stock parts or building a performance truck, these headers provide the airflow foundation your V8 needs.

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Eliminate Manifold Ticking: Replaces warp-prone cast iron manifolds and prevents future exhaust leaks caused by broken bolts.
• Optimized Scavenging: 1.75" primary tubes reduce backpressure, allowing the engine to clear cylinders faster for a fresh fuel/air charge.
• Heavy-Duty Flanges: Thick 7/16" CNC machined head flanges ensure a flat, leak-free seal against the cylinder head.
• Durability: Stainless steel construction with TIG and MIG welding offers superior longevity compared to rusting factory iron.
• High-Flow Outlet: Large 3.00" collectors allow for maximum exhaust volume, creating a deeper, more aggressive engine note.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is highly recommended. Working on exhaust systems on trucks of this age often involves dealing with seized or broken cylinder head bolts. This kit includes the headers and gaskets only; no instructions are provided. Please refer to a factory service manual for torque specifications and removal procedures. The kit features 2 O2 sensor locations, suitable for the upstream sensors.
